Proverbs 19:22
_ _ desire — that is, to do good, indicates a kind disposition (Proverbs 11:23); and the poor thus affected are better than liars, who say and do not. |
Proverbs 19:22
_ _ Note, 1. The honour of doing good is what we may laudably be ambitious of. It cannot but be the desire of man, if he have any spark of virtue in him, to be kind; one would not covet an estate for any thing so much as thereby to be put into a capacity of relieving the poor and obliging our friends. 2. It is far better to have a heart to do good and want ability for it than have ability for it and want a heart to it: The desire of a man to be kind, and charitable, and generous, is his kindness, and shall be so construed; both God and man will accept his good-will, according to what he has, and will not expect more. A poor man, who wishes you well, but can promise you nothing, because he has nothing to be kind with, is better than a liar, than a rich man who makes you believe he will do mighty things, but, when it comes to the setting to, will do nothing. the character of the men of low degree, that they are vanity, from whom nothing is expected, is better than that of men of high degree, that they are a lie, they deceive those whose expectations they raised. |
Proverbs 19:22
The desire — The hearty desire of being kind is accepted by God, and should be owned by men as a real kindness. A poor man — Who is not able to give what he desires to do. A liar — Than a rich man who feeds the poor with fair promises, but doth not perform what he pretends. |
Proverbs 19:22
The desire of a man [is] his (h) kindness: and a poor man [is] better than a liar.
(h) That is, that he be honest: for the poor man who is honest is to be esteemed above the rich who is not virtuous. |
